Indiana State Data
Hospitalizations - Indiana
According to Govenor Holcomb, the state of Indiana will be using hospitalization numbers as their most important indicator for this pandemic.
Because hospitalizations are smoother than cases or deaths, we present the data with a line graph below:
Cases - Indiana
Percentage of Positive Tests
The percentage of tests coming back positive is one way to measure the prevalence of testing.
Deaths - Indiana
Kosciusko Data
Note that the y-axis scales of these graphs are different than the state-level data.
Cases - Kosciusko
Deaths - Kosciusko
Note that if the number of deaths below is more than the official count according to Kosciusko county, that is most likely because our data source is also counting non-residents of Kosciusko county who have died in Koscisusko county.
Indiana Outbreaks
The coloring scheme for the map below is based on a combination of new cases and new deaths per captita in the past week. The coloring scheme is relative, it will always color the worst county pure red.
Below are the six counties in Indiana with the worst combination of new confirmed cases and new confirmed deaths over the past week.
Note that the y-axis scales of these graphs are different than other sections.

Positive Test Rate - States Neighboring Indiana
Looking at the percentage of tests that come back positive can signal which states might have low case numbers because of lack of testing.
For example, Michigan had a much higher death rate per capita than Illinois in mid-April, even though their case numbers per capita were only a little higher in late March and early April. Michigan’s high postive test rate late March and early April suggests that Michigan had worse testing than Illinois during that time.
